Answer

Actually a proxy should normally handle that, if the proxy is using Apache take a look at the commands ProxyPass and an even closer look at ProxyPassReverse in the Apache manuals.

If this is not an option and you will ALWAYS access the twiki through the proxy, just change the $wikiHomeUrl, $defaultUrlHost, $scriptUrlPath, $pubUrlPath variables in TWiki.cfg (wikicfg.pm if using the current production version).
